ESPN X Games 2013 Los Angeles is not just about skateboard, moto and BMX tricks. For the four-wheel motor-head, the debut of Ken Block's Gymkhana Grid and Global RallyCross will surely generate interest.

Ken Block’s Gymkhana Grid will challenge the advanced driving techniques of top drivers within a course that consists of cones, tire barrels and plenty of other obstacles. Attendees can expect to witness drifts, spinouts and tire smoke as drivers attempt to complete the course in record times. This event will occur on Saturday, August 3rd at 7:30pm PST.

The sixth meeting of the 2013 Global RallyCross Championship schedule is also coming to Irwindale. It features a grid of rally cars capable of producing 600 horsepower that accelerate from 0-60 mph in 1.9 sec. The course will be half-dirt and half-paved, and include 70-foot jumps. Expect loud backfires, exciting smash-up action and precision driving . This event will occur on Sunday, August 4th at 2pm PST.

For those who can’t witness the action in person, the event will be televised by ESPN and ABC who will combine efforts to offer 19 live hours of X Games Los Angeles 2013 original programming.
